I didn't choose the .NET Core life... The .NET Core life chose me.
Advice for devs fairly new in their career:
Learn what interests you. If it doesn't pay well*, you can learn two things. Three might be a stretch. But learn at least one thing that interests you. I really reject the idea that money is evil. Money is great, but it can only take the edge off a shitty job so much.
*It's very hard to find something that you can become an expert in, and not find somebody to pay you well to be an expert in it.
Thanks for the reply. I believe you to be correct on the money thing. I want the money so I can live a comfortable and happy life doing what I love, developing. I don't want to have to choose between my happiness and health or a job.
And you are correct, I could continue down this path and become quite well compensated for it. I just don't know if I like putting my eggs in one basket, as they say.
Thanks for your advice though! I'll keep that in mind :)
